Guatemala Trip 2018

A team of nine leaves on Saturday, October 27 for our first official partner trip to Guatemala. After over two years of listening and discerning, we are excited to deepen our relationships with our new friends in Guatemala and learn more about the ways that they are being used for God's glory for their communities.

The team is about to embark on a full week where they will take part in a Youth Network leadership training, experience the Guatemalan/Mexican border, serve alongside a child development center, be a part of a variety of community service projects, and learn a great deal from our Guatemalan partners and friends.

Please join us in prayer for the team and their time in Guatemala

Pray for safe travel both to Guatemala and in country

Pray for health and restful sleep

Pray for healthy team dynamics and relationships to be formed

Pray for our partners, that God would bless their time that they are spending with our team

Pray that cultural differences would not be a barrier, but would be opportunities to celebrate the diversity of God's people

Pray for the relationships between our team and Guatemalan friends as we begin to develop what our partnership looks like in Guatemala
